Vancouver Summit Recap

During the Summit’s opening keynotes on Monday <https://t.e2ma.net/click/6a2gy/igq4cs/mbhdbj>—themed “Let’s Build the Open Infrastructure Economy”— we outlined the technical and cultural challenges that face operators today: building environments that require integrating multiple open source components for use cases ranging from edge computing, to AI, to Container Security, to CI/CD.
